Yiannis Kalmazidis emphasized that Panathinaikos could not find any vulnerable point of Kieri to “hit” her, despite the good roster it has, and believes that they opposed her as much as they could in her offensive game.
Analytically: “Unfortunately, the predictions about the favorite of the match have been confirmed. Chieri is a team that is in fifth place in the Italian league and is very good in all lines. There is no point where you can “punch” her easily, she has a large roster, even when she changes she never drops a level.
We also have a very good roster, however we all know that there is a big difference between the Italian and Greek teams. The difference is not a “step”, but more. Volleyball is a fair sport where you have to create continuously to win and therefore you have to be a better team.
Nevertheless, I appreciate that we made an honest effort without fear and had great courage and will. I don’t want to say I’m happy in a match where we lost 3-0 sets, but to a large extent we did what we had to do. We didn’t manage to stop their attacking game, as they had many solutions.”
